2 Claims.

This invention relates generally to womens hair nets, but more specifically to a hair net which serves the purpose of a turban, of a beauty aid cap and of a triangular veil net.

The main object of the invention resides in the provision of a hair net which remains in place when applied to the head regardless of the movement of the latter. This is accomplished by means of a continuous elastic band running through the length of both the upper edge of the net and of the continuous side members, the latter being adapted to be crossed in the rear whereby the ends are brought up to the middle portion of the forehead and there adapted to be secured to the body portion of the net. By such construction, a hair net is provided which is applied and serves as a turban, the latter being wearable in the street during the day as well as during the night.

A further object of the invention resides in the provision of a hair net which is reinforced along the mid portion of the cap member whereby the side members at the point of junction are prevented from tearing during application and removal.

A further object of the invention resides in the provision of a hair net which keeps the coiffure of the wearer in excellent shape.

These objects and other incidental ends and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear in the progress of the disclosure and as pointed out in the appended claims.

Accompanying this specification is a drawing showing a preferred form of the invention wherein corresponding reference characters designate corresponding parts through the several views and wherein: y

Figure 1 is a rear View of the hair net as applied to a womans coiure.

Figure 2 is a side View thereof.

Figure 3 is a front view of the net as applied to a womans coiffure.

Figure 4 is a plan view of the upper surface -of the hair net in flattened and outstretched position.

In accordance with the invention the hair net consists of two similar triangular shaped portions -generally designated by numerals I0 and I I secured together at opposite edges by a strong and appropriate line of stitching I2. Portions Il and II are made of strands of hair, silk or other suitable material knitted together to form meshes. 4 An elastic band I3 is secured along the upper edge of the hair net and terminates at the lower ends in the form of elastic loops I4, the

formation of the said loops being accompanied by gathering Illa, of the net material adjacent thereto. At the mid portion of the elastic edge and along the upper end of stitching I2, the net material is gathered as at I5 by means of appropriate stitching which secures button I6 at the meeting point of elastic edges I3. The lower edges of portions I0 and Il are provided with a reinforcing strand I'l.

Stitching I2 oers reinforcement to the net especially atV the junction of the lower edges of triangular portions I9 and Il. These portions Ill and II form a central body or cap I8 and band members I9, I9. Cap I8 by the use of gatherings Ilia, |4a and I5 assumes a dome shape to cover the coiffure While bands I9, I9 serve the function of both tightening members for the cap and of giving the net a turban effect. For

in applying the net to the hair, the net is placed over the top of the head so that button I6 is in front and the band members I9, I9 are hanging in the back. The ends of band members I9, I9 are grasped and crossed from behind thereby tightening the net over the hair. Thereafter, the said ends are brought forward and the loops I4, I4 are secured to button I6. Where the net is not to be applied to the hair, it may be used as a triangular veil.

It has been found that by the present construction, a sturdy hair net is formed which cannot roll over the top of the head, the tightness of t being determined by the amount of tension used in crossing bands I9, I9 at the rear of the head.

I wish it understood that minor changes and variations in the shape, construction, material and location of parts, may all be resorted to without departing fromv the spirit of the invention and without departing from the scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A hair net of interwoven strands comprising two similar and opposite triangular members, stitching means joining corresponding sides of the triangular members to form a triangular shaped body having inclined elastic lateral edges meeting at the top, the said inclined elastic lateral edges being adapted to obliquely engage the periphery of the head of the wearer, and opposite and upwardly inclined over the head, means of securing the free ends of the triangular members to the juncture of the elastic lateral edges after said free ends are crossed rearwardly and brought forward over the head of the wearer.

2. A hair net of interwoven strands comprising two similar and opposite triangular members, stitching means joining corresponding sides of the triangular members to form a triangular shaped body having inclined elastic Iateral edges meeting at the top, the said inclined elastic lateral edges being adapted to obliquely engage the periphery of the head of the wearer, and opposite and upwardly inclined reinforced lower edges meeting at the lower end of the stitching means, the free lower ends of the triangular members serving as band members and being adapted to be crossed rearwardly of the head of the wearer to be brought forward over the head, means of securing the free ends of the triangular members to the juncture of the elastice lateral edges after said free ends are crossed rearwardly and brought forward over the head of the wearer, and means to shape the triangular body near the juncture of the lateral edges to the form of the head of the wearer.
